Johnny Ramone dead...

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

He died yesterday. Can we expect an update on the TSOM homepage because of this? (and get a proof that AE is alive)

I sure Claws saw that. I read his/her message as to whether the sad demise of Mr Ramone will prompt Von to write something on the website which is why this thread is in Sisters Chat. :von:

Miserable life... he was the one the song "TOO TOUGH TO DIE" talked about. I just can't believe that we have lost three original Ramones so far. Sad, very sad indeed. Now the best thing we can do is to play "It's alive" as loud as we can.

Sorry @ Claws...

The news was also on BBC's 6 o'clock last night, together with a short clip of The Ramones on Old Grey Whistle Test.

Yeah, pretty sad. But always remember, folks, death is a choice we make when we have nowhere else to go. We each decide that time for ourselves.

The greatest amount of energy in life comes from taking care of your body physically, and having a path or m*****n.

I'm sorry but that is just mawkish sentimental bullshit. Do the thousands of people dying today in the Sudan "decide the time for themselves"? Do the people dying in suicide bomb attacks in Palestine/Israel? Do the (fill in thousands more examples)? I think not.

"According to his publicist, Ramone died in his sleep Wednesday afternoon at his Los Angeles home, surrounded by family and friends. He had battled prostate cancer for five years, and had been hospitalized in June at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center."

not sure dying from prostate cancer is exactly a choice :urff:

If the will to survive is not strong enough, see ya later.

Some nice SoCal books on healing illness with the power of the mind would've done the trick. Try Brandon Bay's book.

There's nothing mawkish or sentimental or s**t about me. Certainly nothing sentimental.

Yeah it's that easy isn't it? Think positive thoughts and wear an orange jump-suit and everything will be OK? :roll:

Hmm, interesting debate.

Three years ago I left work early as I was feeling unwell. As I travelled home on the train I began to feel really ill. Stomach pains, sweats and shakes. I stood in the vestibule area between the carriages as it was too painful to sit still and basically stared at the wall. I had an overwhelming urge to just lie down on the floor but I firmly believed that if I did I would die.

Mrs JB was waiting for me with the car ready to whisk me off to A&E and it was the thought of her and my kids that kept me going. It was only after my first shot of morphine at hospital that I allowed myself to relax.

With no previous symptoms I'd suffered a perforated duodenal ulcer. My consultant informed me that with the toxic shock and peronititis I should be dead.

So, do I believe in the will to survive? I most certainly do.

:eek: I don't really know what to say to that John!

I guess that the "will to survive" can have an effect. It's just that having lost family members to cancer, it annoys me that someone can say this:
Death is a choice we make when we have nowhere else to go. We each decide that time for ourselves.
It's pretty hard for someone to decide not to die with multiple metastasizing tumours throughout their whole body. OK they might hold it off for a month or two longer than otherwise, but it's going to kill them whatever they "decide".
